    132: Options Position Sizing Case Study

    In this special Thanksgiving episode of the SMOT podcast, I want to take a moment to say thank you for being a dedicated listener. Wishing you and your family the very best this holiday season! Today, we’re diving into a case study on options position sizing. I recently posted a video on YouTube where I compared the same trading strategy across different account sizes and allocations to see how position sizing can dramatically impact performance. In this episode, you’ll hear the audio from that video. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/ThDgXklMG40 If you’re a visual learner, I’ve included a link to the YouTube video so you can check out the performance metrics in detail—it’s only 12 minutes long! Before we jump in, a quick ask: If you’re enjoying the SMOT podcast, I’d be thrilled if you left a review on Apple or Spotify. It takes just 30 seconds, and it means the world. Now, let’s get into this case study on optimizing your options position sizing! Want to connect?

    130: GOOGL Earnings Trade Success

    In this episode, I walk through my recent GOOGL earning trade in which I held shares into the earnings event but added a risk free collar trade for protection. As you'll hear, the collar trade caps my upside but gives some downside protection in case the stock were to rollover. At the time of this posting, GOOGL was up a little over 5% on an earnings pop and I've since exited most of the trade for profit.

    127: The Psychology of Automated Trading w/ Mike Christensen of TradersPost.io

    Greats discussion this week around the psychology of automated trading with Co-Founder Mike Christensen of TradersPost.io. Traders Post allows you to automate trades using buy and sell signals from platforms like Trading View and Trend Spider. Even though automated trading can reduce human execution errors, the psychology of automated trading is still something traders have to grapple with despite offloading some of the work to an algo rhythm.

    125: What the Books Don’t Teach About Vertical Spreads

    Updated options trading research now available in the SPX Income Masterclass geared towards beginners with small accounts and for those who don't want to watch the market all day. The strategies included in this Lifetime Access and Updates course are mechanical in nature and lend themselves to automated trading which is also discussed in the course. Here's the link to the SPX Income Masterclass: https://www.stockmarketoptionstrading.net/spaces/4688450 In this episode, I discuss something about vertical spreads that options education books typically don't include. We'll explore comparing buying a single call option vs. buying a long call spread aka. bull put spread through the lens of trading strategy. The primary point is that there is a level of consistency with vertical spreads over single options in that the cost of the spread is relatively the same over time whereas the cost of the call can vary due to volatility. This can make it harder to allocate a consistent amount of capital to a strategy. The downside with vertical debit spreads of course is that you gaining consistency but at the cost of capping your upside gains if the market moves heavily in your favor. Want to connect with myself?
